About Eugenie Kawabata

Eugenie Kawabata is a Naarm based artist and designer-maker whose practice spans sculpture and object design. Kawabata utilises her innovative practice to elevate textile waste into vividly coloured and highly textured sculptural works that showcase the transformative power of craft and design.

Her practice investigates the quiet, often overlooked dialogues within the natural world—amplifying the subtle and the hidden through material expression.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with experimental processes, she engages with industrial waste, to reimagine its potential. Stitching, dyeing, painting and impregnating discarded textile waste with resin, transforming it into cultural objects of value. Grounded in a deeply tactile approach, her practice is both hands-on and visceral.

Eugenie’s practice is at the intersection of art and design, with an emphasis and a strong commitment to sustainability. Her design works are primarily one-of-a-kind pieces and limited editions.

Eugenie offers a commissioned design service. This includes bespoke objects, furniture and lighting pieces. Please contact if you have a project in mind.
